Minecraft:Ore: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:07, 29 April 2026

An ore is any uncommon rock-type Minecraft:block used to obtain specific resources. Template:Block

Usage

Ores isolated down to bedrock

Ore blocks are primarily collected for their resources, which are used for Minecraft:crafting items, such as Minecraft:tools, Minecraft:weapons, Minecraft:armor, and Minecraft:redstone circuits. The resource can also be combined to create a block of the material's type.

Most ores drop their resource when mined, and require a Minecraft:Silk Touch pickaxe to drop themselves.

Ores that drop 1 unit of their corresponding material:
- Minecraft:Coal ore and its deepslate variant.
- Minecraft:Diamond ore and its deepslate variant.
- Minecraft:Emerald ore and its deepslate variant.
- Minecraft:Nether quartz ore.
Ores that drop 1 unit of their raw material:
- Minecraft:Iron ore and its deepslate variant.
- Minecraft:Gold ore and its deepslate variant.

Ores that drop multiple units of their corresponding material:
- Minecraft:Copper ore and its deepslate variant drop 2–5 Minecraft:raw copper.
- Minecraft:Redstone ore and its deepslate variant drop 4–5 Minecraft:redstone dust.
- Minecraft:Lapis lazuli ore and its deepslate variant drop 4–9 Minecraft:lapis lazuli.
- Minecraft:Nether gold ore drops 2–6 Minecraft:gold nuggets instead of Minecraft:raw gold.

The average yield of any of the ores in the list above can be increased by using a pickaxe with Minecraft:Fortune.

Minecraft:Ancient debris drops itself when mined and must be smelted to obtain Minecraft:netherite scrap.

Smelting ingredient

Template:Smelting

Ores can be smelted faster using a Minecraft:blast furnace.

It is not efficient to mine with Minecraft:Silk Touch and then smelt an ore block that normally drops multiple pieces of its resource, because smelting these ores yields less experience and only 1 piece of the resource. Nether gold ore is the only exception, as each ore block drops an average of 8.8 gold nuggets even when mined with Minecraft:Fortune III, which is less than a guaranteed gold ingot obtained from smelting the ore obtained using Silk Touch.

Distribution

Template:Main The following is the distribution of ores according to the Minecraft:altitude (layers are number of blocks above the lowest layer of Minecraft:bedrock) in the Minecraft:Overworld and Minecraft:the Nether. For detailed generation, see Minecraft:Ore (feature).

Trivia

Since it is exclusive to only two categories of Overworld biomes (mountains and windswept hills), emerald ore is actually rarer than ancient debris per chunk.
The texture of ores were changed in 1.17 to make them distinct for color blind players.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
